For those looking to explore Japan's most popular sites of Tokyo and Kyoto, and also longing to see a more quiet, old-fashioned side of Japan, our Golden Triangle of Japan Tour is perfect for you. Journey through the ultra- modern city of Tokyo, the natural beauty of Mt. Fuji and Hakone, the ancient cities of Kyoto and Nara, and the incredibly preserved old town of Takayama in the Japanese Alps. Most of the travel is done on our private coach, allowing for a hassle-free transfer.

Explore the bustling city of Tokyo, visiting famous attractions such as Tokyo Tower and Asakusa Sensoji Temple. Learn to make your own sushi with the guidance of a professional sushi chef. If the season is right, visit Ueno Park in Tokyo to see 1000s of cherry trees, or admire the autumn foliage while also taking in the wonderful views of Mt. Fuji (if weather permits). Visit Kyoto and Nara, both of which were once Japan's capital. You will have exclusive access to the cities’ top gardens, temples, shrines, and specialty shops. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to experience a traditional green tea ceremony hosted by an apprentice geisha (maiko) and watch a kimono fashion show.

During your journey, travel through the remote Japanese Alps, where something special can be seen each season. Takayama is beautifully preserved and has developed its own culture that is unique from the rest of Japan. Visit the charming village of Shirakawa-go, consisting of traditional houses with thatched roofs called Gassho-Zukuri. The beautiful and less traveled city of Kanazawa is home to the Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan’s top three gardens. With 20 different varieties of cherry blossom trees blooming in spring, it is a truly mesmerizing sight.

We plan our tours based on seasonal attractions with must-see sites in every tour. Select tours will include the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park during winter or the Takayama Sanno Spring Festival and cherry blossom viewing during spring. For the autumn season, opportunities to see the Takayama Hachiman Autumn Festival and fall foliage is also possible depending on selected tour dates. The Takayama Festivals are considered two of the most beautiful festivals of Japan, with a large parade of 1,000 people. Staged with costumes and music performances, you will feel like you're in 15th Century Japan.

These tours also available in reverse versions (travel from Osaka to Tokyo) during various departure dates. Click on the tours below to learn more about this itinerary and its seasonal changes.
